At €32,000 (€457/m²), the house is slightly below the local €500/m² level, but utility connections and personalization could bring the effective cost to roughly €53,000, or €757/m². The upper-floor dwelling is habitable, while the ground-floor cellars and barn are only described as potentially convertible; access is partly on an unpaved road and key utility details are not stated.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Ligurian farmhouse with exposed stone, traditional rural details, a solid-looking renewed roof and an exceptional 47,000 sqm of surrounding land. It appears to retain a usable two-bedroom living level, but the cellar and interior spaces are very rough, so this is a rustic restoration and personalization project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- The upper floor is described as habitable, but the interiors shown are cluttered, worn and require substantial cleaning and refurbishment.
- Water and electricity are nearby rather than clearly connected to the house.
- The final approach is via an unpaved road, and the extensive land will require ongoing maintenance.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 67/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennine hills on the border between Piemonte and Liguria. The Bormida di Spigno valley is the main local river landscape. The Beigua massif and Beigua Regional Nature Park lie to the south within the wider 15 km radius from this position, with Monte Beigua the dominant summit of this part of the range. The nearest ski area is at Prato Nevoso and other Maritime Alpine resorts, well over an hour and not part of the immediate landscape. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size, with services and its Roman remains and thermal baths; Savona is the nearest larger coastal city for broader services and rail links. Pareto itself has a castle, and this stretch of the Bormida hills is known for mixed woodland, chestnut country and scattered hill villages between the Po-side interior and the Ligurian watershed.
